Date updated:04-28-2009
Headlines are dominated so far this week by news of the swine flu, which has pork futures sinking. Pork stocks, however, are rallying after taking a beating yesterday, including Smithfield Foods (SFD), up 2.9% at $9.30 at midday on Tuesday after a 12% dip on Monday, and Tyson Foods *(TSN), up 1% to $10.06 after plunging 9% yesterday.
Flu-vaccine stocks, including Novavax (NVAX) and BioCryst (BCRX), are up for the second day in a row. Lately, Novavax was trading up 14.1% at $2.91 at midday on Tuesday, and BioCryst was up 4.6% to $4.06.
With everyone trying to game the swine flu (and avoid the virus), what other stocks might benefit?
With this in mind, we thought we'd take a look today's top stories and see what Jim Cramer's had to say lately about stocks associated with them.
